Anybody wanna hear my story about VR?

If TAA is so wonderful, how come no one is speaking up about its benefits? I see many going back to school, are these people the ones who benefited from the program? Are others still walking into walls? Your experience? ...

Been typing my heart out all morning on unfamiliar new accounts with no previous reports, no repository, and am 200 lines short of the MINIMUM. I just want to give up. I hate this job so much. ...

Something smacks of anti-trust here. Excerpt: It’s been a little more than two years since the AHIMA and the Medical Transcription Industry Association (MTIA) recommended the visual black character (VBC) method be used as the standard unit of measure for medical transcription. Based on research from the Joint Task Force on Standards Development, the announcement came in the form of a white paper that made quite a splash. Defining a VBC as a “character that can be seen with the nake ...

It started with forcing us to do ASR, with a 20% reduction in pay, then upped the reduction to 40%. They shove TeamWork down our throats - not for Our benefit, but to make life easier for the CCMs. Every time we get a new, improved "rule" it involves our unpaid time to read their unintelligible emails and try to decipher them. I don't Want Benchmark, or to be a member of ADHI. But this latest atrocity gives me "homicidal ideation." Penalties for blanks! Puh-l ...

Been sick all weekend. Have a sinus infection that hurts when I touch the side of my face and my eye is all scratchy and can't hardly see. Didn't want to get up this morning, but did, got ready, squirted saline in my eye so I could see fairly well for a while, sat down and NO JOBS AVAILABLE. Gets so old, but I am sure there is already an E-mail being sent that chastizes us to work our schedules. ...

So my company has been bought out by the Q, of course with the assumption that all of us will want to jump from the sinking ship --->into the cold ocean??? Technically I am fired from the old job, as that company is done for, but Q sends out an "offer of employment" with no base rate, no schedule, just a mention that things will stay the same - for now. I don't WANT to accept the job with Q! If I wanted to work for them I would have been. My question is, will ...

Don't. Go home and hand write it. Quit wasting my time and my life. ...

I would absolutely love to be able to leave a QA note on every report where the dictator is being a true imbecile. QA note "dictator smacking candy, unable to clarify." QA note "dictator calling from cell phone with bratty kids screaming in the background." QA note "dictator carrying on conversation with several others while dictating, unable to clarify what is or is not supposed to be in report." QA note "dictator a complete idiot, mumbling the whole time, spelling every ...

Instead of the funky little Q's everywhere, it will be a pair of M's. Then for MT week, they will pass out a tiny bag of M&Ms, gold of course, with little MM on one side and big $$ on the other... ...

I know they have been hiring lately. Can you share your experience with them so far? ...

Here is my TTS story. I was hired by the owner in July, 2007 as an IC. I liked the owner. She seemed a down-to-earth logical person who cared about her company, her employees and had a degree of integrity you don't find at the national companies. She asked me what I was looking for and after I explained she understood the type of account I needed and placed me on an account that suited my needs. No bait and switch which is pretty common pract ...

When I was 50 years old, I got fed up with making a low salary, so I decided to go back to school. I started University of Phoenix and majored in IT. This past December, at 54 years old, I graduated. Before I graduated, I started getting scared that at my age I would not find an entry level job in a young male dominated industry. I had a few really bad interviews. A week ago, I was hired as an IT Project Manager, and this year I will make close to $100,000. My last several paychec ...

Same old story--lost my good hourly-paying, direct-employee job and wondered what to do next. I started looking into records because to me it seemed a good move for a transcriptionist to make. It took some time but I did get a job in records--and I hate it. I'll do my best and learn what I can, but now I'm glad I didn't spend time and money getting certified in records before having actually worked in it. It might be worth trying another records job elsewhere, since eac ...

Ok... I made it thorugh my first day of FTR with no QA markers sent to QA or client and no guessing. Look at how smart I am MedQuist!!! I just did not realize my own potential until you dangled the 3 cpl pay cut in front of my nose. Mark one on my side of the board. ...

I am honest when interviewing with prospective companies/MTSOs. I tell them my experience then tell them I'm ready and able to work. Will they have at least 1000 lines a day for me to work? Would there ever be a chance for 1500+ per day/per "shift"? Guess what? They ALWAYS say yes. They ALWAYS say, "Oh, it's very rare we ever run out of work! You won't find that problem HERE with us!" Guess what again? Still ALWAYS running out of work. Seems 500-800 ...

I'm not on here to bash Nuance. I am here to tell my story ...... you take from it what you want. I have been doing MT work for 8 years. I have worked for several national companies. I was EXTREMELY happy with my job and then Nuance came along and swallowed up our little transcription service just like it has done to so many others. It was not all bad .........but most of it was. Nuance, to be fair, does offer 401K, medical benefits, and PTO, even to their pa ...

My grandmother used to tell a story about working in a dress factory in the 1950s. They started her out sewing pockets. It was piecemeal work. She had to meet quota to keep her job. If she went so much over quota, she made a bonus. When she started making bonuses on pockets, they moved her to setting zippers. When she started making bonuses on zippers, they moved her to a different station. And on it went. Work, work, work, produce, produce, produce until the whistle blew. Can't ma ...

Hi ladies (and the occasional gent) - I haven't popped in here for a bit. Wondering what the scoop is as far as any decent online companies to work for at this point. I've been an onsite MT for about 3.5 years now, but my place of employment has never heard of raises and I just had a big fat financial setback. I'm currently thinking of trying to find some part-time work online (or even full-time, if bennies are provided). I'd love to leave this employe ...

They really want to hear our HDS stories? Then let's tell them. http://www.ahdionline.org/GetConnected/Events/NationalMedicalTranscriptionistWeek/tabid/185/Default.aspx ...

The day after I got my benefits letter and learned of another dollar per hour drop in pay, my husband, who works for a government-contracted company, tells me that the (uneducated, very average) wife of his coworker got hired on as a janitor (making more than me) and took a FORK LIFT class and now has been promoted and gotten a $7 PER HOUR raise. I am supposed to leave on vacation in a few minutes. All I want to do is cry. It isn't even about the money at this point.& ...

In viewing some of the posts on this board, I noticed that some wanted to try to create a Cinderella story for the Q. OK, then let's have a little fun with this. The least I can do is offer some song lyrics. As most of you know, there have been two well known productions of this classic, one by Disney and the other by Rogers and Hammerstein. The Hammerstein version was shown on CBS TV with Leslie Ann Warren in the title role. I offer two sets of lyrics, one f ...

Here in South, NJA all last night and again this morning. Cannot get on to MQMail either to contact my CCM. In fact nothing on the message board will come up. I need help from Support because the QCare program will not download either and seems to have disappeared from my computer. Anyone else with NJA last night late (11 pm on) and even this morning. The system says it is green light and all is go. Yeah right. ...

She worked as a coder at a hospital that was bought/taken over by some new HMO (don't remember the name of it), and during staff meetings, they were telling the coders to replace one symptom description, such as "dizziness/fainting" with a more generalized neurological condition, because that condition caused the insurance companies to pay the hospital more. The condition they wanted her to put was something rarely seen, one doctor said he saw 2 cases in ...

Would love to hear the scoop on Amphion from anyone who works there or has recently worked there. I'm thinking about applying there. How is the pay, software, and benefits, and is there plenty of work? Thanks in advance for any info I can get! ...

I started back when it was DDI. Anyone remember that? We had 2 accounts, 1 primary, 1 secondary. We rarely were without work. I absolutely loved it and we ALL KNEW our accounts inside and out. Changes came the last few years and not all good. You all know how difficult working for MM is so I won't go into that. Two summers ago I "thought" and was lead to believe, I would be able to work part-time at my local hospital. I was continuously told it all "looked like a go." For 5 months it "looke ...

I see a lot of ads for Nuance lately and it seems like there are MTs saying there is no work for them. What is the real scoop? Just want to know if it would be worthwhile to apply to them or if I would be sitting around with no work. Not a big fan of big MTSO... but needing some work and willing to compromise if I must. Thanks in advance! ...

I still have a good 15 months left of school, at least, and this place is just killing me mentally, emotionally, physically. I love studying for my classes, though I have such little time for just that, because it is going to lead me to a life without MM, but I need your inspiring stories. Share anything and everything you are willing to about your escape, please. Hopefully there will be many responses because my intent is to then bookmark this page and refer to it often when I ...

I worked for my local hospital for 11 years. I decided to start working from home and went with OmniMed (great company out of Fargo). Not long after, they were bought out by MedQuist. That began the downhill slide that got worse and worse. My work was outsourced to India. I then went to Spheris which was great at first, but then that work disappeared and they were bought out. On to TTS (nightmare). Then to Landmark (no work). I was going to get out of this business FOR GOOD when I saw an ...
